NUEVO TANGO BALLET

Nuevo Tango Ballet is an experimental contemporary, tango-dance-theater ensemble which aims to push the boundaries and the perception of tango as an artistic language. We seek to contemporize the traditional form by exploring new technique, by creating new narratives, reexamining gender roles and themes of liberty, inspiration and love, while honoring tango's roots as a traditional art form, where dance, music, visual art and storytelling are inseparable.

The art and music of Leonardo Suarez Paz: Because tango is a music for dancing. It is classical music. It is dance and poetry and song. It is about the free, creative expression of the soul. It's about life―or rather what it can be.
